Optiwise and SAP Business One at a glance

Product references: SAP Business One features. Updated 10 September 2026.

ERP + MES + industrial IoT + AI. One Optiwise platform.

AI that moves factory work forward

Ask about delayed orders, retrieve vendor history or create a stock entry in natural language. Optiwise routes the request to a specialized production, purchase, inventory, sales or task agent and executes within your role permissions. Your team can work in its own language.

Industrial IoT, from the device to the decision

Connect OptiEdge gateways, power monitors, machine-status signals and vibration sensors. Track OEE, runtime, downtime and energy. Our machine intelligence highlights abnormal signals, while the command center takes you from a multi-plant view to the machine that needs attention.

Your process, built into your ERP

Create relational modules, parent/child records, conditional forms, formulas and rollups without code. Add approvals, event-driven automations, webhooks and versioned SOPs so the system follows the way your factory operates.

Why choose Optiwise for your factory

Build the operating flow around your products

Create item masters, nested BOMs and product-specific routing. Confirm sales orders and generate the work, then use Smart Suggest to calculate material actions against stock, pending purchases and existing production. Your teams can move from demand to execution in the same system.

Keep the difficult handoffs visible

Track material sent to subcontractors, quantities still outside, partial receipts and inspection outcomes. Record extra material issues and rework against production. Department queues give the next action an owner instead of leaving it in a message or separate spreadsheet.

Add the process detail your factory needs

Create custom relational modules, forms, SOPs and document templates. Configure approvals and event-based actions, then use specialized AI agents to retrieve records and carry out permitted tasks. Your custom workflow stays connected to the rest of the factory.
